Projects at MIT

• Pentaquark two-point correlation analysis, Jan 2004 — current

  This is a numerical calculation on two lattice volumes, 16³×32 and 24³×32, with SU(3) Wilson fermions. The goal is to identify a pentaquark state by means of the correlation analysis of 1 non-local and 19 local interpolating pentaquark operators. Only one very large quark mass has been incorporated thus far: m_π = 0.90 GeV. The calculation is being done on extremely rich statistics of hundreds of gigabytes for each propagator type.

• 1st quantum correction to certain gluonic correlation functions, Sep 2003 — Dec 2003 (suspended)

  The information about the project will be released after it resumes.
